The best podcast episode I've heard in 2024 so far. As an engineer, even beyond the ideas, it was valuable to learn just a different way of thinking.

[@faizahshayk]

this is the first time in the longest time i've watched a podcast and really thought about every concept ... insane value

[@GregIsenberg]

thats the goal!

[@LucianoDevoto]

Insane value from both. Congrats

[@rahimmitha973]

Looking forward to this one!

[@LokoForPopoCuffs]

Love the ideas, just shows you can leverage skill sets into new business easily if you know what you're doing

[@adventurelens001]

I haven't watched a youtube video this intently in a very long time. Such an entertaining and valuable episode. Cody was a such a great guest!

he'll be coming on soon again!

Love seeing the growth of the episodes

Great episode - this duo should be a new pod itself. Guest carried hard

This episode has the highest wisdom per minute..requesting part 2 and part 3 whenever you both find time ❤

we're going to record part 2 soon!

Great convo, and On Deck was some of the smartest people I’ve been able to work with. And on the AI breakdown across an org, I’ve used 15five at a couple companies and gets it done in 5 mins a week per employee.

[@natehaas1346]

Greg, a bit frustrating that you did not challenge or question any of the logistics behind the ideas cody presented. i feel as if that is part of your responsibility being host.

[@JimmyGodspeed]

CEOs built different thank you for sharing your differences today player much insight have I learned.

[@GregIsenberg]

[@EcomCarl]

What an innovative approach to keeping everyone in the loop! Weekly memos can foster transparency and collaboration within a company. Cody's ideas for leveraging AI in the design space and tapping into niche markets like Cricket show great potential for revenue growth and market expansion. 🚀

[@alexandremorey8993]

Hi @EcomCarl. I am working on this idea to make it a reality. Where and how would you sell it?

[@jianli8359]

thank you, not fully understand the topic you two mentioned, but it certainly light me up! like 'ding!' i can put this idea on my ecommence ideas :)

They already have Cricut access a subscription service.... hard to compete with that it's built in and native. Not sure what he was thinking of there?

That sucks! I was seriously gonna run with that one. My mom is addicted to that thing, but clearly I don't know all about it lol.

Got to give 50% credit to the adderall.

Interesting video

[@yeahweburnstuff]

Cody's comment about finding good people to help you in the areas you're weak in is MOST important. I've found that there are often many people around you that naturally have the skills you lack; they're looking for direction and guidance. You, as the Key Person of Influence are the driving spirit of the project, you need one operations/admin, one finance/money person, and one sales/marketing; according to Dan Priestley.

[@RyanStephenAlldridge]

Holy shit. Brain sweating fomo from these ideas. Good one.

He is kinda guy who would sound smart to someone who hasn’t done any customer customer acquisition business . He just listens to my first million and probably other podcast from moiz Ali and some other but he for sure does not know what he is doing and is lying . 😂😂 The line “I don’t have time for 10 million a year” was so funny to me cause dude u have ai subscription company with no clear distinction from others 😂

[@michellerouse9561]

You're probably right😅but I'm an idiot who's learning so much and getting really good ideas from the podcast so I wouldn't be able to pick up on the bullshit they're spewing. So I really can't complain😅and I too listen to those other podcasts you mentioned.😅

[@MosesSaxton]

Just curious, who built your 5 day email course?

[@krisb-travel]

Hey Cody if you're in the comments, i travel full time for about 7-8 years (digital nomad i own a digital advertising business) with my wife and kids, ive really noticed huge potential when im travelling for an app/site/market place of travel gear rental from locals in what ever area you're visiting, surfboards/bikes on beaches, skis/snowboards in ski areas, motobike rental, electric scooter/bikes/skates in cities, car rental, etc etc. Would you be able to recommend how to build out the market place? eg what platform or tool should i use to build the actual platform? I want to test out the idea for a low budget and just target one category/area at first eg surfboards in bali or ski gear in chamonix etc.

[@codyschneiderx]

i wouldn't get hung up on the tools. Use off the shelf in all honesty though marketplaces like this are so hard. its a chicken and egg problem no vendors, no items for cusotmers no customers, no vendors want to be there the path to make this work though is make hundreds of thousands long tail landing pages for ski rentals for xyz locations and then build a stupid amount of links but there are way easier businesses like you make an agency that does google ads for adventure sports retreats like paragliding and print way more money faster honestly a marketplace like that would be easier to build and rank and all those camps high ticket items

[@ezgilv5449]

I need to learn how to do the first idea and the second, anyone knows a way to learn?

[@Sch1zofrenic]

@GregIsenberg What you should build 10 mil. landing pages on a website when you have 10 mil product pages listed on a website and you can share the link to that product, why it is better?and extra work?

[@paul.ignacio]

How do you build 30 links to get the extensions to rank?

[@GregIsenberg]

good question for boringmarketing.com

[@thebrennandanger]

If any one wants to partner up and do the first idea, comment here, let's do it!!!

Yeah, but what is the quality of these svg files? Most converted svg files suck.

[@irhapsody2010]

Do you use cricut? My sister does and I remember a couple of years ago she was trying to get a design converted and was having a hard time finding someone to do it.

[@JacklynMillerJacklyn747]

@@irhapsody2010 I do. I'm an instructional design graduate student, and I have a design and visual arts background. So, to see these concepts over-simplified is slightly bothersome, especially if I put myself in the shoes of someone new to the design world. There are millions of people who know that an SVG file is a vector file, but don't know what a vector is, isn't, or why a vector is necessary in some projects, but not in others. So many tutorials teach these concepts from a top down approach instead of visa versa. While technology is amazing and there are shorter ways to accomplish tasks that used to take hours, many times, the end result is still a sacrifice in quality. Teaching workflow or why someone should do things a certain way is just as important, if not more so, than the end result. Excuse the rant, I'm passionate about these things.

What just happened!

[@ManifestoPerUnAvatar]

i'm into the chrome extension idea. i'm a designer and i can code decently, but it would be great to have someone to try this with, since it is basically zero cost to implement and seems a lot of fun. My other interest rotate around and creativity and writing in general, if you want a shot about which kind we may build. Let's see what happens!

I'm interested in this idea, if you still want to go ahead with this then lets start and implement as we go!!

The second one seems easy to do, as well. Especially, since I'm looking for real estate property to buy.

My advice to everyone is this : if you want to grow big this year especially in your finances. Be willing to make investments. Saving is great but investing puts you on a pedestal where you wouldnt have to worry about savings as you do now. With Samantha Jack, my portolio is doing really great and im proud of the decisions i made last year.
